Hope for the Future
Educating refugee children gives them the chance to improve their lives.
When war, natural disasters or other crises compel families to flee their homes, they need food, water , shelter and other short-term necessities.
But children have an additional need that will shape their futures-education.
On average, refugees remain away from their homes for more than 10 years.
If children are not educated during that time, they miss out on opportunities.
They won't develop essential skills that will help them make a living, interact with others even potentially return to help rebuild the places they fled as children.
In many refugee camps, education is not available or is extremely limited.
Additionally, many refugee children struggle to concentrate in school because of the trauma they have endured and the lack of stability in other areas of their lives.
Fortunately, many organizations are working to help refugee children obtain an adequate education.
Non-governmental organizations help meet children's educational needs in a variety of ways.
Some train and pay teachers; others build and furnish schools or support parent-teacher organizaions.
These basic necessities make learning possible although many students may still struggle to internalise their lessons in such difficult circumstances.
